Lyall Louis Frank Jr. "Dr. Lou"
I want to tell you a story of a soft-hearted and stubborn man who lived well and loved well. Lyall Louis Frank Jr. was born on April 13th, 1930 in South Bend, IN to Mary Ellen and Lyall Louis Frank. Time stood still as his earthly story came to an end on July 16th, 2016. With an old black and white movie playing in the background and family by his side, Lou fell into the hands of his maker. A natural born athlete Lou loved playing football, tennis and golf. As a collegiate athlete at Northwestern he was a member of the "N" Men Club for football and was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi. Upon graduation he continued his education at Indiana University where he became a Medical Doctor. In 1953 he married the love of his life Connie Koehler and following his service in the Air Force, he and his bride returned to South Bend to practice medicine with his father. Dr. Lou was a healing presence, and he made sure that his patients were well taken care of, even making house calls when this was no longer the norm. In South Bend he co-founded and was the first director of the family practice residency program, where his legacy lives on today. Lou was a selfless man who even remembered the 1,342 babies that he delivered in his career. He can be characterized by a few simple yet beautiful things; music, the CUBS, the Bears, fishing, skiing, family and story telling. Whether he was bending an ear by a winter campfire, singing stories through folk songs or vividly recounting his days in the Air Force, he could tell stories that would keep you mesmerized for hours. And there was always a moral to the story. While Lou lived a story worth telling, this story doesn't end. It lives on through his wife of 62 years Connie, his sister Ellen Cox, his four children, Kim (Jeff) Carroll, Daniel (Becky), Douglas (Pam), Karen (Tom) Neal, thirteen grandchildren and one great grandchild. The moral to Lou's story is this, Faithfully serve your family, be diligent to work your hardest, find something beautiful to do with your hands. Whether casting a line, plucking strings on a guitar, stitching up wounds, swinging a club or racket, or eating delicious crab legs. Live well and love well. Cremation has taken place. Private family services will take place at a later date. Memorial contributions can be made to Memorial Health Foundation in memory of Dr. Lyall L. Frank Jr. Donation directed to Memorial Family Medicine Residency Program 615 N. Michigan St. South Bend, IN. 46601. Condolences can be made on the Indianapolis Neptune Society website.
